SENATOR BROWN'S SPEECH
ON COST OF LIVING
Believes in Giving a Man Enough
to Live Decently On Senator
Kalauqkalani's Firm
Stand.
Mr. Cecil Drown made a speech In
the Senate the other day that has evl'
silently been carefully considered by
every member of the .Senate for, In
place of the very rabid spirit that was
shown in the beginning there now
exists n moie temperate tone. Among
other things, Mr. Drown said:
"Living In Hawaii Is higher than In
California. Only sugar Is raised and
all lands possible are being secured for
tho carrying onof this Industry. Our
beef and mntjon Is coming from the
States by the ship load. Nothing but
sug.ii Is "raised here and the cost of
living It exorbitant. Until wo havo
. small farmeis here, living will continue
to cost as much and more; That J
why 1 do not bellcvo in cutting down
salaries? On the other hand, I do not
believe In raising salaries for the pres
ent state of our finances will not al
low It. .
"In ISjI 'S2 and '33 wo sent flour,
potatoes nnd the like to California by
the ship loads. Now, everything Is be
ing Imported into tho country. With
living as high ns this stat'o of affalis
has made It ,we would not be doing tho
fair thing to the employes of the gov
ernment by cutting their salaries down
to the ground. Such action will cripple
their livelihood and will not do tho
government a bit of good. I do not be
lieve In extravagance but I do believe
In giving our government 'ofllccrs
enough to live dccer.tly on."
Mr. Drown then went on to talk of
the government employes of Orcat
Britain. He said that the reason for
the efficiency and absolute trustworthi
ness of these men was due to the sala
ries attached to the oMces making It
possible to secure tho very best men
for tho work.
As has been said above, the Senate
has come down to a moro temperate
mode of procedure. A couplo of days
ago both Kalauokalanl and Kanuhai
wore for striking out altogether and
cutting down to a very low flguro but'
now, Knir.tioi;ninni nas cnangca anu is
out for n proportional reduction alt
along the line as may easily bo seen oy
tho work yesterday. In salaries bo
tween two and four thousand, a hun
dred dollars Is taken off and, In higher
salaries n little moro is dropped. The
Republicans as a body sided with this
net Ion on the part of Kalauokalanl nnd
the consequence was that a lot of work
was done yesterday forenoon.
It was rontended by many that somo
of the Senators would strike friends In
various government positions and that,
nt such times, there would be an effort
to allow salaries to remain lntnct.
However, during yesterday forenoon's
work, the natives ran across several
friends but. under the steady leader
ship of Kalauokalanl, their salaries
were also cut down, not a slnglo effort
being made to leavo them as In the
bill.
Another fact showing that temper
ate notion Is desired Is the rcforrlng of
various Important Items such as the
pay of police on tho various Islands,
to dlfi'eient committees. Early In the
consideration of the bill, there was no
such srl'lt shown.
This showing In tho Senate has eaus.
cd doubtless to look upon that August
body with greater respect than over be
fore. That tho Intention Is firm for
tho continuation of this good work
seems well proven by tho following

sis of no lcnn'hlll. Wo nredolng"' the

Prof. Koebele, the government ento
mologist, s Just now working on his
fungolds for the destruction of tho Ja
panese beetles, a step to which he has
been forced on account of the lack of
beetles from which to procure the nc-
cessary destructive agency of ono of
Hawaii s worst pests.
So far, the professor has not obtained
any results ns the proper time has not
yet elapsed. He expects to be able to
raise a lot of the fungoid In about a
week's time. When this Is forthcom
ing, he will make a solution to be giv
en out for the purpose of spraying
plants liable to be attacked by the
Asiatic pest.
Speaking to a Bulletin reporter this
forenoon, Prof, Koebele said: "I ex
pected to see a great Increase in the
number of beetles this year but have
been agreeably disappointed. The rea
son for my expecting such a result Is
this. Last summer was very dry and
therefore, favorable to beetles, ths fun
golds bslng slow to develop under such
conditions. However, this very fact
that there was not the great Incrcaso
expected, goes to show that during the
previous year, the fungoid did Its work
very thoroughly,
"Tho beetles nie beginning to nppear
In greater numbers Just now but wo ex
pect to do n little business with them
In the near future. This wet weather Is
lust what we want and, as soon as the
liquid containing the spores of the fun
goid Is distributed, I think you will see
a decrease in tho quantity of beetles,
"Hawaii Is fortunate In the .(act that
the Australian beetle has not made Its
appearance In the country. If It ever
does, tho sugar man will surely trem
ble. This bcetlo which Is particularly
prevalent In Queensland, is a big Insect.
It has been known to cut the roots ot
sugar cano for acres around, laying the
stalks on the ground with great rapid
ity. The government I ns spent thou
sands of dollars 'rylng to get rid of this
pest.
"The 'Australian beetle, when It has
finished Us underground work, comes
tc the surfneo and cats the cane which
It has laid low.
"I sent some of the fungoid to the
government entomologist of Queens
land somo time ngod but ho refrained
from trying any of It on the Australian
beetles. Prof. Maxwell, who recently
left for that place, has determined to
experiment with It on account ot the
good results he has noticed In Hawaii
with the Japanese beetles."

That Would Interfere With
the Freedom of Future
Legislatures.
Senators Itussel and Achl who wprc
subpoenaed cstcrday lo appear us wit
nesses before the Grand Jury, and re
fused to obey the summons give dltfci
cnt reasons (or their actions.
Senator Achl does not pose as a
deflcr of processes, he says he was too
busy with the work In the Senate to
obejMhe mandate yesterday. Today he
wos'ln the conldor of tho Judiciary
building ready to place himself at the
sen Ice of the Inquisitorial body.
"I do not object, ns n Senator to be
ing subpocnard by the Giand Jury,"
said Mr, Achl. "I think, however, that
they should have ascertained the time
when It would hnve been most conveni
ent for U3 to attend. I could not leave
my work In the Senate at 10 o'clock
esterduy and told them so. Now
have nothing on hand and am at their
service."
When Interviewed by n Dulletln re
porter this morning. Senator Itussel
said: "Yes, I was served with a sum
mons yesterday from tne Grand Jury
to appear and testify before It. .The
summons was accompanied by a threat
that If I dfil not oley It, I would be ar
rested." "Did you obey the summons?"
"I did not."
"What will you do when the bailiff
or officer conies to enforce tho sub
poena.?" "1 will resist."
"If taken before the Grand Jury by
force, will you answer questions. It may
propound?"
"Pwlll not"
"Do you object to telling the O'and
Jpry what you know of the bribery
business?"
"Not nt al. I am standing on my
rfglfs ns n Senator under the Organic
Act. We nro exempt from nrrest dur
ing tho session and for ten days after
adjournment. Tho Grand Jury and
those In chargo of It know tho law. It
Is not my dignity ns a Senator, of which
I am Jealous. I wish merely td main
tain my right. I would have gladly
complied with a request to appear be
fore the Grand Jury and glo my tcstl
mony. Hut I could not comply with a
subpoena, coupled with n threat. To
havo obeyed the subpoena, would have
set a precedent, dangerous In the fu
ture. If the rights of members of the
Legislature nro not obioned In ono
case, thero Is no telling where the In
fringement will stop.
"I will go to Jail before I will glvo
up the right to exemption from arrest,
guaranteed by the Organic Act. I wish
to bo understood ns not antagonizing
tho effort to get nt tho truth as to tho
bribery charges. I would willingly
testify to all I know.6lf properly re
quested to do so by tho Grand Jury.
y I want to say that the reference In
n morning paper to my action as being
duo to over sensitiveness on my part Is
not well founded. It Is not a matter ot
sensitiveness; It Is n matter of right.
Tho nrtlclo refers to cases In which
United States Senators appeared beforo
grand Juries nnd gao testimony. 1
think Inquiry would show that these
Senators were not brought beforo tho
grand Jury by subpoena, but went of
their own frco will upon request, In the
Interest of truth and right."
